Different between Macro Input Inside workflow container and Outside workflow container

I have a workflow macro that contain 2 different part workflows. First part just to receive output from previous workflow and second part for new workflow. 

Is there any different putting the Macro input for first part workflow inside second workflow container and putting the Macro input outside?

Different in which part of the workflow macro run first.

as far as I know, no it doesn´t make a differance. 

 

what you might need to know is that Alteryx kicks of the wf in order of toolnumbers.

This means that if you got an

input tool(5) --> formula tool (6) --> union tool (11) --> output (12

input tool (1) --> formula tool (2) --> concatenate with the union tool

 

then Alteryx starts of the the first input line that got the lowest number in this case number 1 input tool
